!greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It's not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.

Also, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.

For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there's !torontofc@lemmy.ca of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don't think have a community created.

None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).

Thank you! Added all three to the post and the sidebar.

I'll also keep a look out for the other teams if they should pop up :)

[–] SRGray@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know!

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

If there is a growing community that should be in this list, please comment it below.

If you think a category should / should not be in this list, let us know. There are so many amazing communities, but we also don't want this list to feel overwhelming.

We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but !torontoraptors@lemmy.ca is trying to get traction.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you! added

[–] tjernobyl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

/c/ThunderBay exists, but doesn't have much activity yet.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

thank you! Added

[–] zim@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

!nanaimo@lemmy.ca is another city community.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Added it to both

Love the banner and icon :)

There's a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: !saskatoon@lemmy.ca

Hopefully putting it here gets it more visibility.

Edit: Since we don't really hate each other, even if we pretend to, I'll also point out Regina's community: !regina@lemmy.ca

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

Cheers!

Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you, updated!

At least in the browser, adding an exclamation mark redirects you to the community. Without the exclamation mark my phone thinks its an email address.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's what happens in my web browser as well. I get a mailto: link when I click on that

!oceanside_bc@lemmy.ca East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

thank you, it should be added now :)

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

Another good town on Lemmy!

[–] Policeshootout@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

!vancouverisland@lemmy.ca

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you, it's been added to both!

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

May I request that !fairvote@lemmy.ca be added under the politics section?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to add !portalberni@lemmy.ca

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! It has been added to the post and the sidebar

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Awesome good to have more spaces on Lemmy <3

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hello!

I have made the 2 political communities: Animal Protection Party of Canada and BC Greens for environmentalists and vegans to discuss important issues on the fediverse as I would like to encourage more growth on community owned social media ran by everyday canadians and to avoid the conflicts that may arise with corporate owned social media namely Facebook and Twitter interfering with campaigning that goes against their commercial interests.

May I request that !appc and !bcgreens be listed under !ndp under the politics section.

Please and Thank you <3

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For sure! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to sit down at a computer to make the changes properly and check over all the links, and then kept procrastinating.

They should be updated now, thank you for making those!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you Otter! A lot of things work nicely doing on the computer.

We got 13 political parties in BC and 18 In Canada. 15% and 16% are respectively covered on Lemmy.

So hopefully more join the list so that more people can receive their messaging on the Fediverse.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I have recently created two first nations based communities on Lemmy.ca as requested from the 2023 instance census. Please add !fns@lemmy.ca & !fnl@lemmy.ca to the community list.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I've renamed the last section and added the new communities there

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I also made !inuit and !indigenous communities. Gotta cover everyone :)

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Sorry for the delay, it's been updated!
